A Pound of Butter Christmas Seal Sale to Start November 27 Seal Sab Starts November 27. The sale of Christmas Seals be gins November 27—the day after Thanksgiving. These seals are not to be confused with Red Cross Membership, or Roll Call. At the preaent time the Red Cross has nothing to do with the Christmas Seal. In 1910, after joint ownserehip, the control of the Na tional Tuberculosb Association and the American Red Cross made a friendly agreement whereby the seal eras given outright to the National association and the Red Cross adopt ed the annual roll call as its method of rahing money. Each year the American Rod Cross and the National Tuberculosis assoc iation draw up an agreement desig nating the time between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving as the period during which the Red Crosse chapters shall conduct their roll call and the time_ between Thanksgiving and Christmas aa the period when the tuberculosis association shall Con duct the Christmas Seal sale tq se cure finances to carry on their work. Christmas Seal money b spent only for approved and authorized services, such as Child Health Education, Adult Health (Education: Public Health Nursing, Clinics, Family re lief, Early Diagnosis work, etc. The Christmas seal is copyrighted and .its use limited to authorized repre sentatives of the National Tuberculo sis association, or the Oregon Tuber culosis association and “ affiliated County Public Health associations. Financial statements are audited annually by public accountants, and all moneys are handled only by res ponsible persona. This year the need for the money raised by the Christmas Seel sab is as great as ever, if not greater in some communities where there are many persons who do not have the proper food and clothing. Remember this money is used for prevention of tuberculosh as well as the cure of it. Last year Coos county had 8480.26 out of the 81^62 72 that was raised in the county from the Seal sah. That money was and is used to help those who have tuberculosis and who have not been admitted to the State Tuberculosh Hospital. But the great er part h used for education for pre vention of tuberculosis—that which has been most instrumental in lower ing the death rate from 210 in 1900 I to 76 in 1930. ------- B<o CHrtaUwa B. P. W. Club’s Regular ' Meeting Monday Evening FTBN a pound of butter takes a ride of a thousand miles to find its dinner table! In more than a hundred produce plants, Swift 8s Company is taking the butterfat, eggs and poultry of its 200,000 farm patrons daily, paying cash for them and sending them into national channels of distribution. Thousands of miles of leased telegraph wires keep Swift 8s Company executives informed where these products command the best prices. To the best markets are rushed the surpluses of over-supplied districts. Lacking a national market like this one, many a pound of butter—and many an egg, too — would grow useless right at home, or else be sold at much less than preaent prices. To distribute produce as well as quality meats. Swift 8i Company uses all the facilities of its over 400 branch houses and its 600 refrigerator car routes. Its great organization has 55,000 employees living in hundreds of towns where their pay checks help support community interests and trade. They are local men doing a national job, relieving producers of all selling worries and minimizing local gluts and shortages. A nation-wide marketing system for poultry, eggs and butterfat must render a complete service, covering pur chasing, grading, refrigeration, transportation, selling and delivery. The system functions smoothly when one concern undertakes all these steps. Swift 8s Company performs all these services at the lowest possible cost. Swift: 8s Company profits from all sources, over a long term of years, have averaged less than a half cent a pound.

Jeub in the absence of Mayor Berg, the lighting committee report ed that the fixtures for the new light ing system to be installed in the busi ness section, had been ordered and would be put in place upon their ar rival. They will be attached to power company poles five or six feet lower than the demonstration light across the street from the hotel. The county court is to be inter viewed to ascertain if the county is willing to have the iron poste re- moved from around the court house and the new system installed there. The power company will take down the antiquated iron posts which have ..tood on street corners here for the past quarter of a century, and Officer English was instructed to canvass the owners of the poles to learn if there was any objection to their removal. He found practically none when he made the rounds. It was left to the light committee for a decision as to whether two more police lights similar to the one on First street, should be Installed at thé city hall ahd the Busy Comer intersections. City Attorney Corby was instructed to prepare an amendment to the bi cycle ordinance, forbidding the riding on bicycles on sidewalks and also to require that bicycles be lighted, front and rear. Several people have been run into lately by bicycle riders. The old ordinance provides that sidewalks be not used for bicycle paths where planked streets are avail able, and there are no more planked streets in Coquille. Kat Oregon Food. Cape Blanco is Not the . report will give thh information to Western Most Point the man who wishes to know his stuff. A letter from T. 8. Easton, in Eugene, calls our attention to an error we let slip into the Sentinel columns recently in regard to Cape Blanco, which is not the most westerly point of continental United States. Me. Easton io correct, and we did not catch the error in Lam Leneve’s items. Mr. Easton writes: “It appears to be impossible for the citizens of Coos and Curry coun ties to educate themselves away from their pet notion that Cape Blanco is the farthest west point of the United Statea. In the Coquille Valley Senti nel for Friday, October 2, Lans Le- neve, writing under the title “Out-of Doom Stuff,” makes the following statement. “Sunday a trip was made to Cape Blanco, the farthest point west in the United States.” Mr. Le- neve perhaps knows his traps, but he does not know his geography. ”8everal months ago, after Ripley, in his Believe It Or Not cartoons, published a similar false etatement, the facts were given publicity in the Oregonian for the benefit of readers all over the coast, but possibly the Oregonian is not read in the Coos Bay district. Ripley, in a letter to me, blames the editor of the Coos Bay Times for his error. “If Mr. Leneve and the editor of the Coos Bay Times will some day guide a motor boat due north from Cape 'Blanco, they wilt surprise them selves by landing on the beach of Jefferson county, Washington, in the vicinity of the mouth of Hoh river. If they will then take to the woods with Lans’ dog and gun—end a com pare— and continue due north across Clallam county until they reach the shore of the Straits of Juan de Fuca, leading into the Sound, they will find themselves several weary miles east of the moot western point of the United States, The whole of western Clallam county ia west of Cape Blan co. Any geography, any encyclopedia, any U.A Coast and Geodetic survey “The citizens of Clallam county have a chance to determine whether Cape Flattery is the most western point of the United States, or if the honor properly belongs to Cape Aleva, farther south; but the people of southwest Oregon should leave Blanco out of the contest, for it is so many miles east that their efforts to move it west cannot affect its longitude.” T. 8. Easton Junior Hi Notes Sidney Cadman haw returned <to school after spending a week at the State (Fair. Sidney took his Holstein calf up for exhibition. We congratu late him on hie winning fifth place in the state. His brother, Tod, abo took a calf on which he won sixth place. To be a player in the Junior High athletic team eligibility requirements have to be fulfilled. The qualifications as prepared by Mr. Kathan are aa follow«: In order for a member of any of the activities in athletics to be eligible and qualified for a team, or even for practice, he must be earning an aver age grade of 3 in hie school work. If he fails to keep up this average, ho automatically loses his right to mem bership in the squad and b not to bo re-admitted until he does obtain pas sing grades. No one will be allowed membership who usee alcohol or tobacco, in any form. Time and training can not be wasted on anyone who hasn’t self- respect. Football coaches were asked this question in a letter ‘-Hreaped to them: “Do you permit your players to indulge in drinking or smoking” Knute Rockne replied, “An individual who uses alcohol or tobacco is of a earelese type and finds no position on a team of mine. I want men who are strong enough and brave enough to face their troubles and opponents without the aid of pobotw.” We play to ham self-control; poise in victory, and courage in de feat"
